Abstract: This course is a study of the development of the novel of manners, as reflected in the work of Jane Austen, Henry James, William Thackeray and Edith Wharton. The novels in this course, largely traditional in structure, focus on courtship, marriage, gender, class privilege and the economic practices of the leisure class. This course has several principal goals: to introduce students to the conventions of the genre of the novel of manners and more generally of the realist novel; to consider the ways in which novelists rework, revise, and adapt their own and other novelists’ work over their careers; to study influential works by major novelists, two English, two American; to consider the transatlantic influence of the English novel on American Anglophile novelists writing self-consciously in the ‘great tradition’.
